About Powerscore

Powerscore was created in 1997 by test prep “expert” Dave Killoran based on his experiences in the industry. He believes his methods help students succeed with higher test scores on a number of different types of standardized testings in addition to the GMAT and GRE, including the LSAT, ACT and SAT exams.

Basics

Powerscore also offers private tutoring, either live online, in person or via telephone. They have published and are selling a number of GMAT prep books including:
